Hello! I am running Tumbleweed on a desktop with an RTX 4070 and I am have tried to run sudo zypper dup 3 times now over the last 2 months and each time it has messed up my nvidia graphics drivers somehow causing me to revert to the snapshot taken just before the zypper dup. I thought at the time that there was just some issue that would be resolved which is why I kept reverting but at this point I just need to bite the bullet and figure out how to fix it.

I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall the drivers several times using the command. sudo zypper remove \*nvidia\* && sudo zypper install x11-video-nvidiaG06 The only notable thing that this seems to do is fix my resolution from like 480p to 1080p, but only for the next reboot. However even with the resolution change it seems that the nvidia gpu is not being used at all.

sudo prime-select get-current tells me that there is "no driver configured"

The command xrandr --listproviders prints

Providers: number : 1 Provider 0: id: 0x40; cap: 0x2 (Sink Output); crtcs: 1; outputs: 1; associated providers: 0; name: modesetting output None-1

Also task manager (or whatever) can't detect the gpu I guess?

I'm still pretty new to linux so any and all guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks again for your help! I tried rolling back again and redoing it a 4th time to get the mokutility screen to pull up again but it didn't ๐Ÿ™ƒ So I rolled back yet again because I'm tired of fucking with it today. I will definitely be heading to that IRC channel when I go to reattempt next time though.

Cool, you're welcome! Also, by now the problem regarding key enrolment is more a general Linux/Secureboot problem, so you could also ask it in more general Linux forums/channels. When you find a solution, please let me know about it (ideally right here), since that would interest me too. :)
